Seeing that his wife's face suddenly turned gloomy, Zhao Nan asked with concern: "Wife, what's wrong? What's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Zhao shook her head, raised her head and looked into Zhao Nan's eyes, and said: "Today I went to the temple to ask for divination. When I came down the mountain, I met an old man. He spoke about our family's situation rightly. I took him with me.
I went home to adjust a bit. When he left, he specifically told me that it would take three days for our family's auspicious spirit to bless our son to gather together. Before then, the court must not be held, otherwise it would be detrimental to our son, and it would...
Bring about a bloody disaster!"
Zhao Nan is different from his wife. He worships gods in his heart, but does not believe in charlatans. He thinks that those who set up stalls to tell fortunes are charlatans. However, his wife believes that. He usually doesn't say much, but this matter concerns his son.
He frowned and asked his wife sullenly, "How much did you give him this time?"
Mrs. Zhao said: "Why are you looking at me like this, as if I am always being deceived? In the past, I asked those masters to see which one was inseparable. Which one said that you have good luck in officialdom has not come true."
Zhao Nan retorted: "That's all because of my own efforts. They are so powerful, why didn't they see that my son was in danger?"
Mrs. Zhao was immediately speechless and said: "Then, the good things they said have come true. Maybe they don't want to talk about the bad things. If the bad things are also mentioned, the money I will give them will definitely be less. This
That’s understandable. But this master is different this time. He doesn’t even want to give me money if I insist on it.”
Zhao Nan said: "Is there still such a thing?"
Mrs. Zhao said, "That's not the case, so I think since the masters have given us advice, we might as well listen to it."
Zhao Nan pondered for a while, but still didn't believe the charlatan. He had been in the officialdom for so long and had seen all the hardships of the world. Even the monks in the Shaolin Temple could be duplicitous, not to mention these charlatans. This charlatan didn't immediately
Asking for his wife's money may be a long-term plan to catch a big fish. If his son is really safe after the court session in three days, he will definitely show up again and ask for more money.
People's hearts are not ancient...
After thinking about it, Zhao Lei decided not to listen to his wife. The right time and place were favorable, and the big boss in Yanjing personally sent a central prosecutor here. As long as the trial is held the day after tomorrow and his son is pronounced not guilty of death in court, everything else will be fine.
After dealing with it, even if it means life imprisonment, he is confident that he can get his son out of the prison step by step.
"Okay, I understand." Zhao Nan didn't intend to argue with his wife on this matter, so he said he was tired and went upstairs.
The couple had lived together for more than twenty years, and their inner thoughts could be guessed by every move of both parties. However, Mrs. Zhao did not catch up with Zhao Nan to argue about the matter. Instead, while Zhao Nan was asleep at night, she quietly
He slipped out of the house, hailed a taxi at the gate of the community, and rushed to the only prison in Zhonggang City.
Suspects who are temporarily being interrogated are being held in detention centers.
The taxi stopped at the gate of the prison. Mrs. Zhao got out of the car. The door of the prison had been closed long ago. Even if it was not closed during the day, you must go through the relevant procedures to enter.
OK.
Mrs. Zhao directly revealed her identity to the guard at the door. The guard had never seen the wife of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, so he immediately contacted his leader. As a result, his leader had not seen the wife of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, so he contacted the leader's leader.
It took more than ten minutes to complete the circle. Finally, the biggest boss of the prison came out. When he saw Mrs. Zhao, he nodded and bowed. With a smile on his face, he respectfully welcomed Mrs. Zhao in.
Mrs. Zhao asked to see her son, and the big leader of the detention center immediately made arrangements. If he could not serve the palace empress well, he might be laid off tomorrow. The position of the director of the detention center is not low, but in the eyes of the secretary of the People's Municipal Party Committee,
Isn't he just an official the size of a sesame seed and a pea? If someone just says a word, there are a hundred ways to trample him to death.
Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Lei were arranged to meet in a single room. They were treated completely differently from ordinary suspects and their family members. When ordinary family members met with suspects, they could only talk to each other through glass and had to hold phones. They met as mother and son.
The environment in the room is comfortable, and it is also equipped with coffee and hot tea, a fruit plate with melon seeds and other items, and no one is allowed to disturb me during the whole process. I have to say that the director of this prison is very good at being a good person.
As soon as Mrs. Zhao saw her son, she burst into tears. She threw herself into her son's arms and hugged him. She said distressedly: "Son, are you not wronged in there? Did they treat you badly or bully you?"
."
Zhao Lei was not at all as depressed and desperate as those who were normally imprisoned in the prison. He said with a relaxed smile on his face: "Mom, don't worry, your son is fine here. These people inside are not fools. They
If you really dare to treat me badly, and my dad or you find out, will they ever want to hang out in Zhonggang City in the future?"
Mrs. Zhao raised her head while wiping her tears and said with an annoyed look on her face: "Xiao Lei, it's all because Mom is sorry for you. Mom didn't educate you well in the past, so you took the wrong path."
Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Mom, this has nothing to do with you. It's all my own choice. I failed to live up to expectations and smeared your and my dad's faces."
Mrs. Zhao cried and said: "Mom is not afraid that you will smear me. Mom just wants you to be safe, safe..."
Zhao Lei smiled and said, "Mom, it's okay. I believe my dad can help me sort it out."
Mrs. Zhao said: "Son, to tell you the truth, your dad is a stubborn old man. Mom went to the temple today to ask for divination for you. When she came down from the mountain, she met a master. He hit the mark on our family's affairs with one word, and even took the initiative.
Come to your house to help you mediate, and they will confiscate a penny. Your father must say that he is a charlatan and cannot be trusted. But the master has said that our family has the auspicious aura to bless you.
, the broken jar you brought back was broken. The master has set up a magic circle in our house. It will take three days for the auspicious energy to gather again. Before that, there must be no court hearing. I will tell your father about this.
, Your dad didn’t say anything on the surface, but I know he will never listen to me. Son, you must listen to mom this time, and you will never appear in court the day after tomorrow.”
Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Mom, have you believed in those fortune tellers again? Do you still remember that when I was a child, you asked a monk to read it to me, saying that I would definitely be a top student in the future, and that I could be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, but I still didn't.
I didn’t get into a second-rate undergraduate school just because of my father’s reputation, and I can’t believe those charlatans.”
"you!"
Mrs. Zhao paused in an anxious tone and said: "Your child has the same temperament as your father. This master is really different this time. He doesn't ask for money or wealth. He came to help our family solve the problem purely by fate."
,you……"
Zhao Lei interrupted with a smile: "Okay, okay, my biological mother, can't I just listen to you? Don't worry, I have a way to delay the court appearance."
Mrs. Zhao said: "How to delay? I haven't thought about it yet."
Zhao Lei said with a smile: "It was not easy. I just lay down and pretended to be sick. I have never seen any court try a delirious patient."
Mrs. Zhao's nervous face immediately smiled, patted her son on the shoulder and said, "My son is so smart!"
It wasn't until midnight that Mrs. Zhao left. Before leaving, Mrs. Zhao called the director of the prison aside alone and said in a serious tone: "If my son feels uncomfortable in any way here, I will make your whole family uncomfortable."
!”
The director of the detention center remained silent and said respectfully: "Mrs. Zhao, don't worry, I will take good care of Mr. Ling."
As soon as Mrs. Zhao left the detention center, Zhao Lei received a call from Zhao Nan in the special cell in the detention center. Zhao Nan's voice sounded very calm and said to Zhao Lei: "Son, did your mother just go to your place?"
Zhao Lei smiled and said: "My mother said you fell asleep."
Zhao Nan said: "I'm awake again. No matter what your mother says, don't listen to her. Your mother is willing to believe what the charlatan says, but we can't believe it. Now that the province and Yanjing have taken care of it, we should put this matter to bed as soon as possible."
Now that we understand the situation, our family feels at ease."
Zhao Lei smiled and said: "Dad, don't worry, I believe that everything depends on man-made things, but I don't believe in those charlatans."
Zhao Nan said: "When the court is held the day after tomorrow, be smart and think carefully about what you should say and what you shouldn't say."
Zhao Lei smiled and said: "Don't worry, dad, I'm such an adult."
Zhao Nan sighed and said, "If this matter is over, you won't let me worry about it for you in the future, okay?"
Zhao Lei smiled and said, "Okay, no problem."
At dusk of the next day, Lin Kun took the initiative to call Jin Kai. He had received reliable news that the prosecutor sent by Yanjing City had arrived in Zhonggang City. The court had issued a formal notice that the court would officially open tomorrow morning to prosecute the director of the Zhao Group.
The chief was suspected of organizing a prostitution group,
Human trafficking and several murder cases are going to trial. If Jin Kai had not contacted the big boss before and exposed that the blue and white porcelain sent by Secretary Yao was fake, Zhao Lei would most likely have escaped because of this.
It becomes even more difficult for him to hide himself from the law.
The result was not optimistic. Jin Kai tried several ways to get close to the big boss, but none of them succeeded. He also spent a lot of money and favors to get in, but a big boss with top power, in fact, a common man said
What you can see if you want to see him is not to say how powerful his official power is, but that he is an official to such an extent that he can't cope with all the busy things he has to do every day. How can he have time to meet an ordinary commoner who spends money for money?
Jin Kai was definitely a top-notch young man in Zhonggang City, but in Yanjing City, he realized with his heart that he was just a little shrimp in the vast ocean. No one asked about him when he was born, and no one cared about him after he died.
No matter how hard you try, you can't make waves.
Lin Kun still has no clue about the task assigned to him, not to mention that he had promised to complete it before. At this time, Jin Kai felt embarrassed and guilty. He never thought that meeting a big boss would be so troublesome.
Lin Kun said with a smile: "It's okay. If it doesn't work, just leave it to fate. If Zhao Lei really escapes this time, then his life should not be cut off."
Jin Kai said apologetically: "Kunzi, no matter how hard I try, I won't give up even if there is a glimmer of hope."
Lin Kun smiled and said: "Brother Kai, don't be so persistent. Just do what you have to do and leave the rest to God. After all, many things in this world are beyond our control."
Jin Kai sighed guiltily, "It's all useless, brother. This kid Zhao Lei is already a turtle in the urn. If we don't 'beat' him to death this time, it will be a disaster to let this kid out in the future. Hang up the phone first, I will think about it later."
I want to find a way to get close to that big guy."
Lin Kun smiled and said hello, and the two hung up the phone. Lin Kun took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth. He stood by the window and looked outside. Under the calm and prosperous night, the evil spirits hiding in the darkness
